Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | Well, how do you rate a game which is just a joke? I had the same problem with Advanced Lawnmower Simulation - it's impossible. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Master Gumby Posts: 115 | Ah ah - I waited for this discussion, but I do think I am prepared to enter it. So here's what I thought: 1. The game is a satire on Tetris-clones. It is SUPPOSED to mock them. 2. The game totally meets the standards it aims at. There are no flaws, no bugs. 3. This game is supposed to give you a good laugh. 4. It will fail to do so if you are not into Tetris-clones. 5. I am. I laughed. 6. So... let's look at the ratings: -> 0/6 (total crap, not worth to be in existence): Doesn't fit in my opinion, I already stated why it's worth to be in existence. -> 1/6 (has something to it, like professional production values, a somewhat nice idea behind it, but is in the end not seriously playable): The "seriously playable" part let me think. But if this game WAS seriously playable it would totally fail at what it's meant to be, so this cannot be it. -> 2/6 (not that bad; certainly has some redeeming value, but also very serious flaws which, at least at some point in the game, make frustration or boredom overwhelming): See... the game does not have any flaws. This rating is impossible. -> 3/6 (good game, definitely worth playing for longer than half an hour, but absolutely nothing special to it - a game made 'by the book'): Okay well... this does not meet either. But going higher would mean recommending this game as a "must have" which it simply isn't either. Conclusion: The ratings below 3/6 were impossible to give because the game is what it is supposed to be. So it had to be 3/6. Which does NOT mean everyone will like it. ----- Edited by Elwood at 16:36 on May 8th, 2008 |
